INTRODUCTION :

Air pollution is the contamination of the atmosphere by any toxic or radioactive

gases and particulate matter as a result of human activity. There are 5 major air
pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), sulphur oxides (SO, SO2, SO3),
particulates, hydrocarbons, and photo chemical oxidants.

Causes of pollution
Motor vehicle exhaust
Heat and power generation facilities
Industrial processes
Auto Manufacturing
Fertilizer plants
Building Demolition
Fuel production
Forest Fires

Effects
Global Warming increase of the earths temperature and Troposphere Which helps the climate patterns (The weather) change
An example of this is all the ice melting in Antarctica resulting from Global Warming. All of that melting ice is destroying habitats for many
animals for example Polar Bears

Acid Rain ;When acid chemicals are swept into the air and into areas where it raining and the acid falls to the ground in the form of rain,
snow, or fog
Ozone Depletion ;This is when the Ozone starts to fade away because of the pollution so then the Ozone doesn’t protect the earth
anymore from the UV rays

Results on humans

Irritation to the eyes, nose and throat

Upper respiratory infections like bronchitis and pneumonia
Headaches
Nausea
Allergic reactions
Chronic respiratory disease
Lung cancer
Heart disease
Damage to the brain, nerves, liver, or kidneys

1. How Air Pollution Hurts Animals

2. >Causes respiratory problems
3. >Acid rain can kill lots of fish and other animals

14. How Pollution Hurts Plants When trees are burnt CO2 is released into the air
Some Pollutants damage leaves of trees

Switch off the lights, fans, air conditioners, televisions, and other appliances, when not in use. You can also share a
roo m with others when the air conditioner or fan is on, instead of switching them on in every room.

If you are going to a nearby place, go by wal ing or use bicycle, instead of using your vehicle. The objective is to
minimize the use of fuels, as far as possible.

Whenever possible, try to travel by public transports. This helps in twoways, prevents air pollution and increases
public income.

Education Teaching people about air pollution is the best way to get them to realize how big of a deal this is and how much we are in
danger.
Renewable Energy Group <ul><li>REG is the leading biodiesel industry They sell there products so that we can burn cleaner fuels

CONCLUSION :

As we now air is the most important need of living things.

When it becomes polluted, the life of humans, plants and animals will be in danger. Air pollution
means the presence of harmful substances in the air which impure our environment.Air
Pollution gives rise to serious health hazards and responsible for various types of life
threatening diseases. Hence it is utmost important that proper attention should begiven in
controlling and minimizing those activities which causes this pollution and also appropriate
restriction should be put in place in using those means which contributes towards it.So, save our
environment from any pollutions that can damage living things life.
